[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I strongly suggest not moving until after the kindergarten lottery (or sooner if you get in somewhere you like). You seem to be fine where you are now, and there are many good pre-K and K programs in the District. Pick somewhere you like and that is convenient, and play the lottery for your top choices. If you get in, great, move near that school or stay where you are. If not, then you've got a few more years under your belt to know what you really want in a school.

If you don't care about Montessori or immersion, Hyde Addison is a great option for OOB. Then you can look anywhere that is within a good commute to that school without worrying about buying in a specific zone. [/quote]

+1. If you don’t get into Tubman, you will get into Raymond or Appletree.  You can also do PK3 and PK4 at CentroNia for free.  Our kid went there for PK and it was fine.  Plenary of future Bancroft kids there.

Personally, I would wait until after the upcoming boundary review.  I wouldn’t want to buy at the top of the market in a neighborhood that loses a feed to Deal.[/quote]

When is the boundary review?[/quote]

I think it's supposed to be in 2023 but sometimes they just dont do it.  Or they only do a little bit.  The last big overhaul was in 2014 and before that it hadn't happened in quite a long time.[/quote]

I doubt there will be any big change even if something does happen. Deal is only 1300 and trending down. Wilson will be addressed by new Ward 2 high school. Only thing urgent is a few Ward 3 elementary schools.[/quote]

Well, if they're serious about the new Shaw middle school that might prompt a look at that whole area.

Here you can find lists of schools by how much of their building capacity they're using.

Equal or greater to 95% utilization are: CHEC, Ellington, Hearst, Hyde, Ketcham, Lafayette, Oyster and Adams, Roosevelt, Ross, SWW High School, Van Ness, Wilson.  Some of these schools are over 100% of their official capacity.  So if they're expected to be even more crowded in the next five years, some boundary changes might be needed.  Maybe new Shaw and the freed up space in Cardozo could relieve CHEC for example.
